Bug ID: 517325
Summary: Plasma Login Manager KCM fails to list/detect custom
wallpaper plugins - workaround included
Classification: Plasma
Product: plasma-login-manager
Version First 6.6.2
Reported In:
Platform: Arch Linux
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: minor
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
CC: [email protected], [email protected]
Target Milestone: ---
While Plasma Login Manager (PLM) supports wallpaper plugins, the System
Settings module (KCM) currently only displays pre-installed/default wallpaper
options. Third-party or custom plugins (installed to
`/usr/share/plasma/wallpapers/`) do not appear in the selection list.
However, the backend successfully supports these plugins if they are manually
defined in the configuration file.
Steps to reproduce:
Install a custom wallpaper plugin to `/usr/share/plasma/wallpapers/`.
Open System Settings > Login Screen.
Observe that the custom plugin is missing from the wallpaper type selection
menu.
Workaround:
Manually adding `WallpaperPluginId=your.plugin.id` under the `[Greeter]`
section in `/etc/plasmalogin.conf` successfully applies the wallpaper.
Expected Results:
Your plugin should now display on the login screen, but it still won't show up
in the KCM.
Tested and confirmed on Arch Linux.
